Does the Union do enough to promote sensible drinking?

ZŽƐĂ ƌŝƩĞŶ͕ Es ϰ “I do think it should be part of their role, I think too many students probably do drink too much, but again it would probably be a very hard message to put across because unfortunately it is a very big part of our university culture, to drink a lot. “

Emily Bales, PSI 3 “I don’t really think they do anything to promote sensible drinking. There’s no posters, that you’d expect for students, especially in freshers’ week. We are old enough to make out own decision, but they are selling the alcohol so have a duty to the consumers.”

NEW VICE-CHANCELLOR ENVISAGES GREAT POTENTIAL AT UEA David Churchill Like many plucky young freshers, the new ViceChancellor of the UEA, Professor Edward Acton, is embarking on a new adventure.

Too famous for defamation? Acclaimed Hollywood director Roman Polanski was the victim of a surprise arrest at an airport in Zurich after nearly three decades of eluding capture for child rape allegations. Now, with a full-blown celebrity trial imminment, David Biggins explores the question of his guilt. It’s 2003 and the Oscar for best director is about to be announced. The orchestra pipes up with John Williams’ familiar Raiders March as a shaggy looking Harrison Ford takes to the stage. Instantly, it becomes clear who’s going to win.

The wonders of Poland After visiting 20 countries and 27 cities on an InterRail Trip

Carrie-Anne Elsden

across Europe, Tom Hunt reflects on Krakow in Poland, one of the many countries that stood out to him while on the trip of a lifetime. This summer I embarked on a trip across Europe, taking in 20 countries and 27 cities in 30 days from Belgium to the edge of Asia and back again, all on the European rail network. One of the many places that stood out most was Krakow in Poland, which we reached by night train. We struggled to sleep in a rattling carriage with no-one else but an old Polish guard who couldn’t speak English and didn’t know what a Mars Bar was. Trundling through the night, we arrived at Krakow Glowny station in south western Poland, early the next morning at 6am. Krakow, best known for the film Schindler’s List and its proximity to the Auschwitz concentration camp, is a definite must on any tour of Europe, as it has a unique vibrancy of life to offer. Under bright blue summer skies we traipsed Wawel Castle, resplendent in its grandeur as the seat of the Polish kings. Posing for a photo with local celebrity Pope John Paul II, we entered the sanctity of the silent cathedral, touring the holy site from top to bottom: the beautifully decorated altar, the cool crypt deep beneath full of tombs of Polish royalty and the creaky wooden bell tower careening into the sky above. We climbed the ladders up a vertical maze to the very top – the home of the biggest bell in all of Poland. When tolled its chime can be heard 18 miles away! From there we descended into the city, a place full of life. There seemed to be children spread across all the streets, each playing an accordion, collecting bowls of Polish zlotter by their sides. In the grand square, the largest in Europe, we saw Michael Jackson perform (though there were strings attached and it was all a bit wooden). We crawled up the

Megabus or mega fail?

clock tower and spied on the people below with telescopes, strolled down the Cloth Market without the intention of buying any cloth, explored the inside of a giant head, and made our eyes sore by gazing at the stunningly colourful interior of Krakow Cathedral, where not an inch of space is left undecorated. We applauded traditional Polish breakdancing over a drink, examined the benefits of Polish bagels and

“It was a chilling place and strange to see that it actually existed and wasn’t just a horror set.” dumplings in great detail, accepted in good taste the over-zealousness of a drunken man’s devotion to the Virgin Mary he wanted us to kiss, looked on bemused as a man sat arguing and wildly gesticulating at thin air for a good half hour, and tried to work out why two pints of beer were walking continuously around the Square. We ate massive candy floss, had photos taken with the bizarrely disgruntled Subway crocodile and looked on as a bunch of over-protected and nervous police took an age to remove an angry wasps’ nest from a restaurant umbrella. All the while we were

trying to avoid our creepy roommates in the old Jewish quarter of the city. One of them was just like Michael Jackson – in fact I’d almost go so far as to say that Michael is alive and well and living in a hostel in Krakow. An Australian room-mate was over-eager to show us every single item of his disgusting antiques collection, bought at a rip-off price. We patiently sat through it all before we were allowed to go to sleep. The next day, quite a different mood prevailed as it was time to go to Auschwitz/Birkenau and contemplate humanity as we walked through the prison, gas chambers and concentration camp there and stood on the railway tracks on which every doomed person was carried to their end. It was a chilling place and strange to see that it actually existed and wasn’t just a horror film set. There were many distressing elements which I could go into but would prefer not to divulge here. Suffice to say that everyone should go to wholly appreciate what happened there and comprehend what people are still trying to get over. On this rather drab note, our time in Poland reached its conclusion.

To avoid Freshers’ flu Jessica Ball recommends: “eat fruit and vegetables, don’t overindulge on alcohol, get a good eight hours’ kip, keep your bodily fluids to yourself and be a conscientious flat mate. Ok, so I just read that back; it is unlikely to happen, so just stock up on Strepsils and Lockets and ride it out. Get well soon!”
